Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2005
(In thousands, except per share data)
1. | | Basis of Presentation |
|
| | The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WCI Communities, Inc. (the Company), its wholly owned subsidiaries and certain joint ventures in which the Company has the ability to exercise control. The equity method of accounting is applied in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to those investments in joint ventures in which the Company has less than a controlling interest, has substantive participating rights, or is not the primary beneficiary as defined in FIN 46-R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. All material intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. |
|
| | The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes of the Company as of June 30, 2005 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 have been prepared by management without audit, pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2004 audited financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended. In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of such financial information have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. Certain amounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. |
|
| | In May 2005, we closed on the sale of a parcel in Jupiter, Florida for $100,000 in revenue and $76,600 in gross margin resulting in an increase in land sales revenues and gross margin for the three and six months ended. Land sales are expected to continue in the future, but will vary significantly in amount and timing. Historically, the traditional homebuilding segment delivers 40% to 50% of its revenue and gross margin in the fourth quarter. The Company historically has experienced and expects to continue to experience variability in quarterly results. The consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. |
|
| | Effective April 1, 2005, the Company revised its calculations of capitalized interest with respect to its traditional homebuilding and tower inventories, as prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34,Capitalization of Interest Cost. The Company now includes the underlying developed land costs in its calculation of capitalized interest for tower residences under construction, and includes the underlying developed land costs and in-process homebuilding costs in its calculation of capitalized interest for traditional homes under construction. Capitalization ceases upon substantial completion of each home or tower. The effect of the revision was to increase net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 by approximately $4,800 or $0.11 per diluted share, of which approximately $3,300 or $0.07 per diluted share relates to the cumulative effects as of April 1, 2005. In addition, homebuilding and tower cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2005 includes approximately $4,400 and $2,700, respectively, of previously capitalized interest related to homes closed and tower residences under construction, due to this revision. |
|
2. | | Stock-Based Compensation |
|
| | The Company has elected to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method described in APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related interpretations. No compensation costs are recorded upon issuance of stock options as the options were issued at the current market price of the stock on the date of grant. However, for stock grants, compensation expense equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the grant date, or the market price remeasured at |

the reporting date for a variable stock compensation plan, is recognized ratably over the vesting period. Had the Company elected to recognize compensation expense under the fair value method under SFAS 123, pro forma net income would be as follows:

Diluted | | $ | 1.59 | | | $ | .41 | | | $ | 1.94 | | | $ | .70 | |
| | These pro forma amounts may not be representative of the effect on pro forma net income in future years, since the estimated fair value of stock options is amortized over the vesting period and additional options may be granted in future years. |
|
| | In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which is a revision of SFAS 123 and supersedes APB 25 and SFAS 148. This statement requires companies to record compensation expense for share-based payments to employees, including grants of stock options, at fair value. SFAS 123R is effective for public companies at the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company believes the initial implementation of SFAS 123R will not have a material impact on its financial statements. |
|
3. | | Segment Information |
|
| | The Company operates in three principal business segments: Tower Homebuilding; Traditional Homebuilding, which includes sales of lots; and Real Estate Services, which includes real estate brokerage, mortgage banking and title operations. Amenity Membership and Operations and Other, and Land Sales have been disclosed for purposes of additional analysis. Asset information by business segment is not presented, since the Company does not prepare such information. |

Total real estate inventories | | $ | 1,737,443 | | | $ | 1,477,966 | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | Work in progress includes tower units and homes that are finished, sold and ready for delivery and tower units and homes in various stages of construction. Completed inventories consist of model homes used to facilitate sales and tower units and homes that were not subject to a sales contract. Excluding model homes, we had approximately 53 and 27 completed single- and multi-family homes at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. We had 43 and 84 completed tower residences at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. |
|
5. | | Warranty |
|
| | The Company provides its single- and multi-family home buyers with a one to three year limited warranty, respectively, for all material and labor and a ten year warranty for certain structural defects. The Company provides its tower home buyers a three year warranty for the unit and common elements of the tower. |
|
| | Since the Company subcontracts its traditional and tower homebuilding work to subcontractors who provide it with an indemnity, claims relating to workmanship and materials are generally the primary responsibility of the subcontractors. Warranty reserves for amounts that may be paid by the Company have been established by charging cost of sales and crediting a warranty liability. The amounts charged are estimated by management to be adequate to cover expected warranty-related costs. The Company’s warranty cost accruals are based upon historical warranty cost experience and are adjusted as appropriate to reflect qualitative risks associated with the types of towers and homes built. |

7. | | Variable Interest Entities |
|
| | As defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation 46-R (FIN 46-R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (VIEs), an interpretation of ARB 51, a VIE is created when (i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or (ii) equity holders either (a) lack direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity, (b) are not obligated to absorb expected losses of the entity or (c) do not have the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity if they occur. FIN 46 requires the consolidation of entities in which an enterprise absorbs a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity. |
|
| | Under the non-special-purpose entity provisions of FIN 46-R, the Company has concluded that whenever it options land or lots from an entity and pays a non-refundable deposit or enters into a partnership arrangement, a VIE may be created. If the Company is deemed the primary beneficiary of these arrangements, it would be required to consolidate the VIE. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company evaluated its option contracts for land and lots and determined it was not the primary beneficiary of these option contracts as defined by FIN 46. |

8. | | Shareholders’ Equity |
|
| | In May 2005, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission which as of June 30, 2005 was effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under the shelf registration statement, the Company may offer from time to time up to $1.0 billion of debt securities, common stock and/or preferred stock. |
|
| | In addition to its common stock, the Company has 100,000 shares authorized of series common stock, $.01 par value per share, and 100,000 shares authorized of preferred stock, $.01 par value per share. No shares of series common stock or preferred stock are issued and outstanding. |
|
| | Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding including the dilutive effect of convertible debt, stock options and grants. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, 677 and 0 stock options, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive effect. |
|
| | Information pertaining to the calculation of earnings per share is as follows: |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | For the three months ended | | For the six months ended |
| | June 30, | | June 30, |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
9. | | Debt |
|
| | The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $50,000 of the 10 5/8% senior subordinated notes due 2011 (the Notes). During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the Company repurchased $17,000 principal amount of the Notes. The Company recognized expenses related to this debt redemption of approximately $1,519, which primarily represented the purchase premium above par value. |
|
| | In March 2005, the Company issued $200,000 of 6-5/8% senior subordinated notes (the Notes) in a private placement. During the quarter ended June 30, 2005,the Company completed the exchange of the Notes for notes (the Exchange Notes) registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Exchange Notes have substantially identical terms as the Notes. The Exchange Notes mature March 15, 2015 and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears commencing on September 15, 2005. The Exchange Notes are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt. The Exchange Notes’ indenture contains certain financial and operational covenants that may limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends, repurchase capital stock and make certain restricted investments. Proceeds from the offering were used to repay approximately $199,000 of the outstanding balance under the senior unsecured credit facility. |

10. | | Commitments and Contingencies |
|
| | Standby letters of credit and performance bonds, issued by third party entities, are used to guarantee the Company’s performance under various contracts, principally in connection with the development of our projects and land purchase options. At June 30, 2005, the Company had approximately $55,142 in letters of credit outstanding which expire at various dates through 2007. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates; rather, the Company is released from the bonds as the contractual performance is completed. These bonds, which approximated $118,982 at June 30, 2005, are typically outstanding over a period of approximately one to five years. |
|
11. | | Acquisition |
|
| | On February 17, 2005, the Company acquired Renaissance Housing Corporation (Renaissance), a homebuilder and high-rise tower developer that currently operates in Virginia and Maryland. Cash invested in Renaissance included consideration paid to the seller of approximately $89,000, plus the repayment of approximately $51,000 in indebtedness on the day of closing, excluding acquisition costs and net of acquired cash of approximately $8,300. The Company recorded an initial amount of goodwill of approximately $9,100, which was assigned to our Traditional Homebuilding operating segment. In accordance with the purchase agreement, during the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the seller exercised a 60-day post-closing date clause in the purchase agreement requiring the Company to pay additional consideration of approximately $1,970. The additional consideration was paid in June 2005 and recorded as goodwill. In addition, contingent payments tied to the earnings of the acquired business unit may be earned and paid over three years following the acquisition and would be recorded as goodwill when earned. |
|
| | In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a non-interest bearing $10,000 promissory note payable to the seller. The promissory note is collateralized by a certain land parcel located in Virginia. In accordance with the terms of the purchase contract and promissory note, depending upon the seller’s ability to obtain governmental rezoning to increase the building density, the Company will be obligated to pay a rezoning payment ranging between $10,000 and $86,400. The seller has until August 2014 to obtain governmental rezoning. The payments due to the seller will be recorded as additional land basis when paid. |
|
| | The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS 141. The purchase price of the acquisition was allocated to the net assets acquired based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The results of operations of Renaissance are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements beginning on the date of acquisition. Pro forma information has not been presented because it is considered not material. |
|
12. | | Supplemental Guarantor Information |
|
| | Obligations to pay principal and interest on the Company’s senior subordinated notes are guaranteed fully and unconditionally by substantially all of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. Separate financial statements of the guarantors are not provided, as subsidiary guarantors are 100% owned by the Company and guarantees are full, unconditional, and joint and several. Beginning in May 2004, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries no longer guarantee the debt. Supplemental condensed consolidating financial information of the Company’s guarantors is presented below. |

ITEM 2. | | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Three and six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to three and six months ended June 30, 2004
Overview
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | For the three months ended | | For the six months ended |
(Dollars in thousands) | | June 30, | | June 30, |
| | 2005 | | 2004 | | 2005 | | 2004 |
Total revenues | | $ | 670,655 | | | $ | 332,019 | | | $ | 1,136,519 | | | $ | 597,332 | |
Total gross margin (a) | | $ | 188,765 | | | $ | 77,898 | | | $ | 281,646 | | | $ | 142,154 | |
Net income | | $ | 75,302 | | | $ | 19,116 | | | $ | 91,881 | | | $ | 32,664 | |
(a) Our gross margin includes overhead expenses directly associated with each line of business. See the condensed consolidated statements of income for the details of other components that are part of consolidated income before income taxes for each period.
Our principal business lines include single- and multi-family (traditional) homebuilding, mid- and high-rise (tower) homebuilding and real estate services. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, 74.7% and 79.3% of revenue and 55.5% and 68.1% of gross margin, respectively, were derived from our combined homebuilding operations.
For the three and six months, total revenues increased 102.0% and 90.3% and gross margin increased 142.3% and 98.1%, respectively. The increase in revenues for the respective periods was driven primarily by the expansion of our traditional and tower homebuilding divisions, a large land sale, and to a lesser extent, growth in real estate services and amenity operations. The traditional homebuilding division benefited from the continued contributions from the Northeast U.S. and Mid-Atlantic U.S. markets. The increase in tower revenues for the respective periods was primarily a result of an increase in the number of towers recognizing percentage-of-completion revenues compared to last year. The real estate services division continues to deliver revenue growth as a result of increased transaction volume and average sales price per transaction.
Revenues, gross margin and net income were positively impacted by the sale of approximately 500 acres of undeveloped land in Jupiter, Florida for $100.0 million. This transaction produced approximately $77.0 million of gross margin.
In addition to the gross margin growth contributed from our principal business lines, net income for the three and six months was impacted by our revised capitalized interest calculations, by a reduction in other income and by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A).
Effective April 1, 2005, we revised our calculations of capitalized interest with respect to our traditional homebuilding and tower inventories, as prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34,Capitalization of Interest Cost. We now include the underlying developed land costs in our calculation of capitalized interest for tower residences under construction, and include the underlying developed land costs and in-process homebuilding costs in our calculation of capitalized interest for traditional homes under construction. Capitalization ceases upon substantial completion of each home or tower. The effect of the revision was to increase net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 by approximately $4.8 million or $0.11 per diluted share, of which approximately $3.3 million or $0.07 per diluted share relates to the cumulative effects as of April 1, 2005. In addition, homebuilding and tower cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2005 includes approximately $4.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of previously capitalized interest related to homes closed and tower residences under construction, due to this revision.

Traditional homebuilding revenues and home deliveries increased 98.1% and 69.0% and 112.3% and 79.2% for the three and six months, respectively. The increase in revenues and home deliveries for the respective periods was primarily due to the Florida market results. The Florida market contributed $86.8 million and $153.6 million to the increase in revenues and delivered an incremental 164 units and 289 units for the three and six months, respectively. The increase in Florida revenues and home deliveries was primarily due to construction delays caused by the hurricanes and permitting delays in late 2004 that pushed approximately 238 homes into the first six months of 2005 and the delivery of homes from our increased backlog. The Northeast U.S. and Mid-Atlantic U.S. markets contributed $41.8 million and $79.3 million to the increase in revenues and an incremental 50 units and 111 units to home deliveries for the three and six months, respectively.
Revenues were also favorably impacted in both periods due to the 17.0% and 18.5% increase in the average selling price per home closed, resulting from closing a larger portion of homes in our higher priced communities. In addition to a 13.0% and 13.8% increase contributed by the Florida market for the three and six months, respectively, the increase for the six months was positively impacted by the $1.0 million average selling price per home closed achieved in the Mid-Atlantic U.S. market.
Lot revenues increased $12.6 million and $16.8 million for the three and six months, respectively. The increase in lot revenues for the respective periods was primarily due to the initial sales from one of our communities located in the West Coast Florida region and an increase in lot sales from existing communities located in the Florida market. From time to time, we sell certain lots for custom homes directly to prospective residents or custom homebuilders as part of our strategy to serve a broad range of customers.
The decrease in the gross margin percentage was primarily due to amortization of the step-up in carrying value of in process real estate inventories associated with the acquisitions of Spectrum Communities and Renaissance Housing Corporation to reflect fair value at the time of purchase, a decline in gross margin from the Florida market and the revision of our capitalized interest calculations with respect to our traditional homebuilding inventories. Homebuilding cost of sales for the three months ended included $4.4 million of previously capitalized interest related to homes closed. Gross margin percentage for the

Florida market decreased to 16.8% from 22.1% for the three months and to 16.2% from 21.4% for the six months ended primarily due to higher raw material and labor costs where home deliveries were delayed. Due to permitting delays, the timeframe from initial customer contract to home delivery increased by up to as much as 12 to 18 months. Consequently sales prices were locked in over a year or longer before delivery and our actual costs were higher than estimated at the time of home sale. The lingering effects of the hurricanes and permitting delays on Florida’s East Coast, as well as the purchase price accounting treatment of our Northeast U.S. and Mid-Atlantic U.S. homebuilding acquisitions, suppressed gross margins in the first half of 2005. Traditional homebuilding gross margins for the full year are expected to be in the 18% — 19% range.
Contract values of new orders increased 35.7% for the six months due in part to the 157 units and $142.4 million of new orders contributed by the Northeast U.S. and Mid-Atlantic U.S. markets. Contract values of new orders in the Florida market decreased 16.2% and increased 14.4% for the three and six months, respectively. The decrease in the Florida market for the three months ended was primarily due to the Company’s decision to temporarily reduce product offerings in certain communities where strong demand coupled with lot supply constraints caused by permitting, construction and certain raw material delays have extended backlog into 2006.
The 56.5% increase in backlog contract values reflects a 26.9% increase in backlog units combined with a 23.3% increase in the average sales price of homes under contract to $588 in 2005 compared to $477 in 2004. The increase in backlog contract values and units can be attributed to increased homebuilding sales and price increases for the six months ended combined with closing delays in the Florida market and, to a lesser extent, the contributions from the Northeast U.S. and Mid-Atlantic U.S. markets, which had a combined 425 units and $348.3 million in backlog at June 30, 2005.
We employ a wide range of sales incentives to market our homes to prospective buyers. These incentives are an important aspect of our sales and marketing of homes, and we may rely on them more heavily in promoting communities experiencing weaker demand or to promote the sale of completed unsold homes. Without the use of these marketing incentives, our ability to sell homes could be adversely impacted. The absorption of homes priced in excess of $1 million in certain second home luxury communities located in our Florida market continues to be slow.

Tower revenues increased 57.6% and 55.8% for the three and six months ended, respectively. The increase for the respective periods was primarily due to the increase from the number of towers recognizing percentage-of-completion revenues, offset by a decrease in revenue from the sale of completed tower units.
The increase in towers recognizing percentage-of-completion revenues in the respective periods was primarily related to the increase in the number of buildings under construction recognizing revenue and the progression of completion in towers that were under construction in the comparable periods. The Tower division began construction on 12 towers during 2004 while only six towers were completed in 2004. During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, one new tower began recognizing percentage-of-completion revenues and two towers were completed. The decrease in revenue from the sale of completed tower units is primarily due to the reduction in the number of completed tower units in inventory available for sale. At the beginning of January 2004 and 2005, we had 139 and 84 completed tower units in inventory available for sale, respectively.
The decrease in gross margin percentage for the three and six months was primarily due to the change in the mix of towers under percentage-of-completion toward a broader range of moderately-priced, lower margin towers, the reduced revenue from the closing of completed tower units which averaged approximately 25.7% and 31.6% margin in 2005 compared to 36.5% and 35.6% for the respective periods in 2004 and revisions to our interest capitalization calculations for our tower inventories. Tower cost of sales for the three months ended included $2.7 million of previously capitalized interest related to towers under construction recognizing percentage-of-completion revenues.The comparable periods in 2004 also benefited from the realization of $7.6 million in construction and sales incentive cost savings on certain completed buildings with no significant cost savings recorded on completed towers during the current period.
Although the number of net new orders increased 62.4% and 46.4% for the three and six months, respectively, the average selling price per new order decreased 1.4% and 15.6%, for the same periods, primarily due to the Company’s planned shift in mix towards a more diversified moderately-priced tower product. The increase in the number of net new orders for the three and six months was primarily due to the conversion to firm contract of 212 units in five towers with a sales value of $207.5 million.

ITEM 2. | | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
The 43.9% increase in backlog contract values was due to the 93.1% increase in cumulative contract values partially offset by a 170.7% increase in cumulative revenues recognized. The increase in cumulative contract values for the period July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2005 was primarily due to the $1.1 billion increase in net new contract orders offset by the delivery of $174.5 million in contracts associated with completed towers. The $692.9 million increase in cumulative revenues recognized relates to the progression of percentage-of-completion in new and existing towers offset by the reduction in cumulative contracts associated with the towers that were completed and delivered to customers during the period July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2005.

Real estate services revenues, including real estate brokerage, mortgage banking, and title operations for the three and six months increased 19.7% and 24.7%, respectively, primarily due to an increase in the volume of transactions and an increase in the average sales price per transaction associated with our Prudential Florida WCI Realty brokerage operations.
Prudential Florida WCI Realty brokerage transaction volume increased 15.9% to 3,703 closings from 3,195 in the second quarter of 2004, and 15.0% to 6,458 from 5,618 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in the number of transactions is due to the opening of new offices, the relocation of existing offices to larger locations, sales office acquisitions, and general growth in the real estate market. Compared to the three and six months in 2004, the average brokerage transaction price increased 9.7% and 15.2%, respectively, due to favorable real estate market conditions. The slight increase in gross margin percentage for the respective periods was primarily due to increased efficiency and prudent cost management in the real estate brokerage operations.
We anticipate revenue growth in real estate services throughout 2005 due to increased transaction volume and higher average sales prices within the Prudential Florida WCI Realty brokerage business and increased capture rates in the mortgage banking and title operations achieved through synergies with our homebuilding and realty brokerage divisions

recovery method at two equity membership clubs located in the East Coast Florida region and the final sale of equity memberships at an existing club located in the West Coast Florida region. The increase for the three months ended was primarily due to the sale of luxury equity memberships from one our clubs located in the East Coast Florida region. In general, the sale of luxury equity memberships continue to be affected by reduced demand in the West Coast Florida region.
Membership dues and amenity service revenues increased $1.8 million and $4.2 million for the three and six months, respectively, due to the initial operations of new amenity facilities located throughout the Florida market and increasing annual membership fees.
The decline in the gross margin percentage for the six months was primarily due to the increased overhead costs associated with operating new and existing amenity facilities.
Amenity gross margin in 2005 will continue to be adversely impacted by the reduced availability of marina slips, slow demand for luxury equity memberships and increased start-up deficits associated with new amenity operations.

Other income for the three and six months ended decreased $7.6 million and $12.7 million, respectively, primarily due to the completion of collections from the sale of our Bighorn investment. We collected and recognized $14.7 million in the first half of 2004, from the sale of Bighorn. The remaining unpaid commitment of $1.8 million was collected in January 2005.

During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we recorded an additional $3.1 million in insurance recoveries related to damages caused by Hurricane Ivan to our properties near Pensacola, Florida offset by additional costs of $1.2 million related to repairs associated with damages caused by the four hurricanes in the third quarter of last year. The insurance carrier is in the process of reviewing claims documentation. The final insurance recoveries cannot be determined until the claim review is completed.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including real estate taxes, (SG&A) increased 44.6% to $61.1 million and 40.6% to $114.7 million for the three and six months, respectively. General and administrative (G&A) costs increased 79.0% and 61.0% for respective periods primarily due to the increase in salaries and benefits related to increased staffing associated with the continued expansion of our business, the addition of our Northeast and Mid-Atlantic U.S. operations, an increase in estimated incentive compensation for achievement of Company performance goals, as well as a $2.5 million retirement bonus paid to our retiring Chief Executive Officer that was approved by the Board of Directors and expensed in February 2005. Marketing expenditures increased 13.2% and 25.0% for the respective periods due to the increase in advertising in new and existing communities, an increase in costs associated with opening sales offices, incremental costs from operating existing sales offices and the addition of our Northeast and Mid-Atlantic U.S. operations. As a percentage of total revenues, SG&A for the three months ended decreased to 9.1% in 2005 from 12.7% in 2004 and for the six months ended decreased to 10.1% from 13.7% for the same period in 2004.
For the three and six months ended, interest expense, net of capitalization, decreased 84.2% and 15.0%, respectively, due to an increase in interest incurred and capitalized.The 34.1% and 26.8% increase in interest incurred was primarily as a result of the increase in the weighted average outstanding debt balance for the respective periods in 2005 as compared to 2004. The increase in overall debt was primarily related to increased development activities associated with traditional and tower homebuilding products under contract for delivery in the next three to 24 months, land acquisitions, land improvements, amenity development activities and the acquisitions of Spectrum Communities in 2004 and Renaissance Housing Corporation in 2005. The increase in interest capitalized is primarily the result of the revised calculations of capitalized interest related to our traditional homebuilding and tower inventories effective April 1, 2005.
Liquidity and capital resources
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating and investing activities. We finance our land acquisitions, land improvements, homebuilding, development and construction activities from internally generated funds, credit agreements with financial institutions and other debt. As of June 30, 2005, we had $67.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $494.3 million available to draw under our senior unsecured credit facility.
We use cash flows from operations to build inventory additions related to single- and multi-family homes that are under contract for delivery during the next six to twelve months, land acquisitions, land improvements, amenity development activities, and additions to tower inventories. Including land acquisitions, net additions to real estate inventories were approximately $110.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. During the first half of the year, we acquired approximately $114.0 million in additional land. We expect real estate inventories to increase as we are currently searching for and negotiating to obtain control of additional land for future communities.
For the six months, our cash flows from operations were impacted by a $334.5 million increase in contracts receivable reflecting the increase in percentage-of-completion revenue recognition in tower units under contract that are now being constructed. We expect to collect a portion of the remaining contracts receivable during the next three to six months as five tower closings are planned to occur, allowing delivery of units to residents. If we do not collect these contract receivables due to various contingencies, including buyer defaults, we may receive less cash than we expect. Historically, approximately 1% to 2% of non-cancelable contacts have resulted in
23
| | |
ITEM 2. | | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
cancellation or default. Future defaults may limit our ability to deliver units from backlog and collect contract receivables upon the completion of towers under construction.
For the year, approximately $136.4 million of cash was used in investing activities for the purchase of Renaissance Housing Corporation and $19.4 million to develop golf courses and club facilities and acquire corporate assets.
For 2005, financing activities provided net cash from borrowings on the senior unsecured credit facility, the revolving credit construction loan agreement, other project loans, exercise of stock options and the issuance of $200.0 million in senior subordinated notes in March 2005. The proceeds from the bond issuance were used to repay approximately $199.0 million of the outstanding balance of the senior unsecured credit facility.
We utilize a revolving credit construction loan to fund tower development activities. The facility provides for a $290.0 million revolving loan, which may increase to $340.0 million if certain conditions are met. At June 30, 2005 approximately $80.6 million was outstanding on this facility. In addition, the Company has a construction loan for another tower for up to $136.9 million. At June 30, 2005 approximately $98.4 million was outstanding on this loan.
We utilize a senior unsecured revolving credit facility primarily to fund land acquisitions, land improvements and home construction and for general corporate purposes. In January 2005 the revolving loan commitment was increased to $750.0 million. At June 30, 2005, approximately $255.7 million was outstanding on this loan.
Our wholly owned finance subsidiary, Financial Resources Group, Inc., utilizes a $23.0 million bank warehouse facility to fund mortgage loan originations. As of June 30, 2005, approximately $1.0 million was available for borrowing under the warehouse facility.
At June 30, 2005, we were in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions in regards to our senior subordinated notes, senior unsecured credit facility, revolving credit construction loan facility and warehouse credit facility.
During the course of future operations, we plan to acquire developed and undeveloped land, which will be used in the homebuilding, tower and amenities lines of business. As of June 30, 2005, we had option contracts aggregating $210.5 million, net of deposits, to acquire approximately 3,500 acres of land. Our contractual obligation with respect to the option contracts is limited to the forfeiture of the related non-refundable deposits and/or letters of credit, which was $14.9 million at June 30, 2005.
On July 28, 2004, our Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of its common stock and to repurchase up to $50.0 million of its 10 5/8% senior subordinated notes (the Notes) from time to time, subject to certain parameters. During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, we repurchased $17.0 million principal amount of the Notes. We recognized expenses related to this debt redemption of approximately $1.5 million, which primarily represented the purchase premium above par value.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We selectively enter into business relationships through the form of partnerships and joint ventures with unrelated parties. These partnerships and joint ventures are utilized to acquire, develop, market and operate homebuilding, amenities and real estate projects. In connection with the operation of these partnerships and joint ventures, the partners may agree to make additional cash contributions to the partnerships pursuant to the partnership agreements. We believe that future contributions, if required, will not have a significant impact to our liquidity or financial position. If we fail to make required contributions, we may lose some or all of our interest in such partnerships or joint ventures. At June 30, 2005, one of our unconsolidated joint ventures had obtained third-
24
| | |
ITEM 2. | | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
party financing of $20.5 million, of which $14.5 million is outstanding. Under the terms of the agreement, we provide a guarantee for our pro-rata share of the amount outstanding. Although the majority of our unconsolidated partnership and joint ventures do not have outstanding debt, the partners may agree to incur debt to fund partnership and joint venture operations in the future.
Standby letters of credit and performance bonds, issued by third party entities, are used to guarantee our performance under various contracts, principally in connection with the development of our projects and land purchase obligations. At June 30, 2005, we had approximately $55.1 million in letters of credit outstanding. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates; rather, we are released from the bonds as the contractual performance is completed. These bonds, which approximated $119.0 million at June 30, 2005, are typically outstanding over a period of approximately one to five years.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s critical accounting policies are those related to (1) revenue recognition related to traditional and tower homebuilding; (2) contracts receivable; (3) real estate inventories and cost of sales; (4) warranty costs; (5) capitalized interest and real estate taxes; (6) community development district obligations; (7) impairment of long-lived assets; (8) goodwill; and (9) litigation. These policies are more fully described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2005. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures provided reasonable assurance that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to accomplish their objectives.
In addition, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
